Master Olalade Adesina, who made 9As in the 2023 West African Examination Council (WAEC), on Friday the 25th of August won 15 awards at the 15th graduation ceremony of Rehoboth College, Ilorin.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Adesina was awarded the best student in Data Processing, Civic Education, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics, amongst others.
He also won Barr. Adimula’s award for best in Mathematics and English Language, Ifeoluwa Tomiwa Makinde’s award for overall best student, Mr. Alaofin’s award for best student in Chemistry, Mr and Mrs Makinwa’s award for best student in economics, as well as Mr. Ajayi’s award for best graduating student of Rehoboth College.
In his valedictory speech, Adesina appreciated the teaching staff for their commitment to the academic success of their students.
He stated that his sterling performance in the WASSCE examinations, in which he recorded nine A1s, would not have been possible without the doggedness and relentless efforts of all the teaching staff.
The outgoing head boy of the college affirmed that the zero tolerance of the school to examination malpractice during both internal and external exams, a policy, he noted, gives no room for laziness, and was the impetus he needed to succeed.
The event which was attended by several dignitaries, also commemorated the 20th year that Rehoboth College was established.
While thanking GOD for the successful completion of the academic year, the Proprietor of the school, Mr. Sam Popoola, noted that the school has continued to leap in bounds in its bid to become the school of choice in Kwara.
He added that the performances of both the junior and senior students in external examinations like WASSCE, NECO and JAMB, was excellent, culminating in Adesina scoring nine A1s in all subjects offered.
